Parents across Vancouver, WA trust Multnomah Body Piercing for their children's first ear piercing — and every piercing after. We've been doing this since 1974. Three generations of families have walked through our doors in Gresham, OR.
Walk In Today — (503) 669-4191With Claire's shutting down locations across Oregon and Washington, parents near Vancouver, WA are searching for a safe, professional alternative for kids' ear piercings. We are that alternative — and we're better in every way.
Claire's used a piercing gun. We never do. Piercing guns cannot be fully sterilized, they cause blunt trauma to the earlobe, and they create jagged holes that take longer to heal. We use single-use sterile hollow needles — the only method endorsed by the Association of Professional Piercers (APP).
We have safely pierced children as young as 6 years old. Parent or guardian must be present and provide written consent. We take the time to make kids feel comfortable before we start.
Hollow sterile needles create a clean hole, not a tear. Less trauma = faster healing = fewer infections. This is especially important for kids' sensitive skin.
Zero nickel. Zero mystery metals. ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium is what surgeons use. No allergic reactions. Perfect for kids with sensitive ears.
Founded in 1974 by Sheryl Wheeler. Still family-run. We've pierced the ears of parents who now bring their own children to us. That's the Multnomah legacy.
We're located at 52 NE Division St, Gresham, OR 97030 — easy freeway access from anywhere in the Portland metro and beyond. Families drive from across Oregon and Southwest Washington to see us. Open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 11am–6pm. No appointment needed.
✓ Valid photo ID for the parent or guardian
✓ The child's birth certificate or ID (we may ask)
✓ A signed consent form (we'll provide it at the studio)
✓ A snack and water for your child
✓ That's it — we handle everything else
We'll send you home with complete aftercare instructions. Saline spray twice daily. Don't twist or turn the jewelry. Keep hair products away from new piercings. Titanium jewelry does not need to be changed for 8 weeks minimum. We're available by phone if you have questions after your visit.
